ployed.
THE rush of immigration from abroad
has been stimulated by great activity in
railroad building and by the demand for
labor in mills, factories and shops of all
kinds. Mechanical labor is coming over
in abundance, while comparatively few
miners are changing their abode.
The inducements to miners Of
Europe or Great Britain TO
change their homes is not so strong
as to workmen in other branches. Com
mon labor has extraordinary inducements
offered. There will be railroad mileage
laid this year double that of last year.
House building will be at least % per cent.
greater. Shop labor of all kinds is in de-
mand, and there is therefore an opportunity
for great influx of common labor. Even
in the lumber camps in the Northwest men
are paid from $1.75 to 50 per day, but they
are skilled woodsmen. Mining labor is
wanted in the gold and silver mines all
along the Rocky Mountain range, from
Northern Montana to the City Of Mexico.
MANUFACTURERS of mining machinery
in st. Louis, Chicago and New York have
lately received orders for an unusually
large quantity OF special machinery, and q

lakes down into MEXICO. One company
has been organized with capital of
$12, 900, 900, two in st. Louis with a capt.

$1,000, 600, to say nothing of the long
string of smaller companies, all of which
seem to be we'll backed with capital and
prepared to enter upon active work.
An the spring meetings of the Western
lumber men the opinions were generally
expressed that prices for lumber must be
stronger under the extraordinary Eastern

six Western lumber States is given at $685.

SOME people in Chicago are trying to
make out that cotton and wooden goods can
be manufactured there as chcaplySas in
Fall River, Providence, or Philadelphia, or
any other textile center. The machinery,
they say, can be made there, land is cheap,
and from whatever standpoint the subject
is viewed it is claimed the advantages are
in favor Of the West.
BUSINESS men in the far West are not
paying much attention 10 their former
Eastern sources of supply. New ones are
springing up nearer, where purchases are
more conveniently made, and where ex-
changes can be effected if goods prove un-
satisfactory.

week of 1856. r. G. Dun & Co IS weekly trade
The feature of business reports for the last
week is the enormous increase reported at many
Western points In that section the Interstate
act, though checking trade at some important
points, seems TO have produced n feeling OF
extraordinary confidence in n much larger
number Of towns. Other causes, particularly
the speculation in real estate and activity in
building, contribute to swell transactions
surprisingly. Eastern cities do not find a cor
responding improvement in trade. Already 9j7
miles of railroad have been completed, against
652 TO date last year, and new securities are Of
fered in great variety and large amount but the
uncertain prospect TO rates and respecting
the decisions of the Interstate Commission az

improved little. The enormous supply of
money goes far TO explain the situation. Not
only has the Treasury added about 81 O00. OC0 to
the circulation in April, but the abundance and
cheapness OF money in London clearly felt
here Undoubtedly large amounts Of foreign
capital are seeking employment here in indus

adequate demand abroad. While this state OF
things continues and crop prospects grow moro
favorable the season Of speculation and ex-
